Dec 23 - 12:38 PM | Plug-ins > 112dB |
112dB unveils a new range of plug-ins called Redline Series.
Redline Reverb is a musical reverb based on a completely new and original concept that excels in both warmth and transparency at extremely low CPU usage.
Unlike conventional algorithmic reverbs Redline Reverb does not need separate plate, hall, and room algorithms. Instead its comprehensive parameters set allows lush smooth vocal reverbs, convincing room simulations, almost infinite reverb tails, synth pad and delay effects, and everything inbetween.
Described as an indispensable tool for any serious use of headphones, Redline Monitor is a listening, mixing, and mastering tool. It replaces the extreme stereo separation that is characteristic for headphones with the detailed stereo image of near-field monitor speakers.
Its proprietary algorithm performs a sophisticated combination of filtering, frequency-dependent delaying, mid/side processing, and room simulation to create a convincing acoustic soundstage that allows you to properly localize sound sources.
Last but not least, Redline Equalizer is a versatile parametric equalizer with novel features. Combining mastering-quality processing with unrivaled workflow, Redline Equalizer provides high precision control over the entire audio spectrum with perfect transparency and absolutely zero phase shift.
Whether it's silky smooth highs or ultra-tight lows you're after, Redline Equalizer delivers. Boost or cut up to an incredible 60dB per band without any harshness or boom. Choose dynamic EQ to make your equalization curves adjust in realtime to the source material. Pick either linear phase for extreme transparency, or from several vintage phase and cut/boost characteristics to make your tracks stand out in a mix. And with its proprietary S.A.M. (Smart Auto-gain Makeup) you will never have to manually balance levels again.
All the Redline Plug-ins are expected to be released in Q1 2009. Pricing TBA.

Here's a good news for all UAD-1 users :
"Due to overwhelming success of the UAD-2, effective immediately UA is eliminating the UAD-1 to UAD-2 plug-in upgrade fee. The UAD-2 project was an ambitious undertaking, and porting the plug-in library to the new platform has taken a tremendous amount of time and effort. However, as the free plug-in upgrade period is coming to a close and we've only just released version 5.2 which is the first version to have all the UAD-1 plug-ins ported over and offer Pro Tools support, it became obvious that we would at least need to extend the program for these customers.
Upon further reflection, and taking into account the increasing customer objections to the fees associated with the upgrade program, we have decided to eliminate all fees associated with upgrading from a UAD-1 to UAD-2. We are confident that this will help even more of our UAD-1 customers move up to the new more powerful UAD-2 platform. For those of you who bought a UAD-2 during the upgrade period, you will have received a Bonus Voucher in appreciation. This bonus voucher promotion will continue for the rest of the 2008, so it's still a great time to buy. Anyone who registers a UAD-2 card by Dec 31st will receive the following:
UAD$100 voucher for a new UAD-2 Solo , Nevana 32, or Solo Flexi
UAD$150 voucher for a new UAD-2 Duo , Nevana 64, or Duo Flexi
UAD$250 voucher for a new UAD-2 Quad , Nevana 128, or Quad Flexi
But hurry up, because these bonus vouchers are going away January 1, 2009 ."
